I don’t know if I am just weird…but I’m not big on touching all the “guts” from inside a pumpkin. While carving is fun, I’d rather paint, glue, glitter, or even decoupage a design on a pumpkin. I know its a Halloween tradition so I started trying to motivate myself into grabbing the giant knife and digging in. And what better to motivate me than food? Inside that pumpkin are all sorts of tiny seeds just waiting to be eaten. Now I’ve tried roasting the seeds in the past and they’ve just been okay. So how can I make them better? I’ve searched the web and here are a few of what I have found to be the most interesting flavor combos. Let me know what you think!

Step 1 – Wash the seeds in a colander to remove the extra gunk. To make life easier, do this right after the seeds have been removed from the pumpkin.
Step 2 - Coat them in melted butter and mix them with your chosen flavor combination (listed below).
Step 3 – Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
Step 4 – Bake for 10 minutes. Stir and bake for another 10 minutes.
Step 5 (and possibly the hardest step) – Let cool before eating
